Title:
alt+backtick doesn't focus on selected one of many windows previously
clicked
Status in Unity:
In Progress
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
This a user experience issue and easily reproducible.
Open multiple instances of your favorite application. Then click on
Unity's icon for the app when you are already focused on one instance
of it. This opens up a tile of the instances of the application which
you can select from with the mouse.
Now while that tile is shown, use ATL+backtick to select the window
you want instead of clicking with the mouse. The result is that the
tile window doesn't go away.
If you use ALT+backtick and switch to ALT+tab (or start from ALT+tab
from the start) and select another kind of application, then the tile
goes away correctly and the other application comes in the front.
I can verify that the window you would select with ALT+backtick does
actually get to the top of the view and is marked as the "last visited
instance", because if you switch to another application (using
ALT+tab) and click back on the group of the original application you
would see the one you previously selected with ALT+backtick.
---
Here are step-by-step instructions.
- Open a couple of terminals
- Open firefox
- Click on the terminal icon
* This should open a tile showing the various terminal windows you have open
* If that doesn't happen, click again (you were not on a terminal window
before)
- Use ALT+backtick to select one of the terminal windows
Expected behavior: The tile of terminals goes away and the selected
terminal is focused
Observed behavior: The tile of terminals stays on the screen
